  • I just live in Brandon and I say some things differently that you. That's neat! =]

  • Anyone ever tell you that you sound EXACTLY like Randy Bachman, another native Winnipeger? Weird...

  • Also we tend to talk like we are asking a question. Or also we will say "anyways" or "anywheres" instead of anyway and anywhere.

  • Also East coasters say "some" a lot. So instead of saying "That's REALLY good" we would say "That's SOME good." or "boy if you don't hurry up you're going to be SOME late". (also we would say "boys" not "boy". Also "right or rite" is used. ei instead of "he was REALLY mad" it would be "He was RIGHT mad". So all together now. "Yer SOME late, boys the boss is gonna be RIGHT madatchoo"

  • I'm grew up on the east coast in NB and now live in Sask. on the east coast we call it silverware and whole wheat. Also we say "awnt" instead of "Ant". Also some words that have an H in them such as "right" or "fight" or "night" we actually pronounce the H a little so the words sound more "breathy" for lack of a better word. Funny the differences.

  • no doot aboot it.

  • Canadian natives say "eh'"most of times

  • Hmmm, we live in the same city but we speak very differently O.o you say Aunt as ant and I say Aunt as aunt I guess?

  • @AyanaLinval lol would that be a St. Boniface accent vs. a River Heights one? JK but I think the way we say some words depends on how our parents say them. I do have friends who say aunt like "ont," same as you.

  • @dapperdan29

    "Ont" is a good way to put it, I was sitting there thinking how I would write it to sound like that lol. But that could be true for the parents. Canada is very diverse and has a lot of recent immigrants. I'm 3rd gen from Iceland, so I can bet there is still an influence there, my friend is 2nd gen from Poland and she has the HEAVIEST accent even though she was born and raised here lol.

  • @TalkMontessori you ain't seen nothing yet! We've get reached the tip of the iceberg of cuteness!

  • if only life was that easy that everyday we could get the blog recorded in one take and then straight to upload...

  • @nothingfunnyleft some people do that on here every day!

  • Not to be rude but I don't think your a fair representation of the Winnipeg accent.

    Sun shower bro!

  • @Dropkicktheposers yeah, my wife corrected me as well after I finished recording. I just forgot what it was called!

  • haha, good video! I keep meaning to do this one too. Will try to do it tomorrow.

    Yeah, the whole "eh" thing. Funny thing is, I told ya I have friends from Canada and we joke about it a lot.... and I think I have actually picked it up some and say "eh" in my everyday speech :) Funny how you can pick up stuff like that when your friends are saying it around you a lot :)

    But yeah, thanks for doing this! Loving this tag!

  • @bradasstv can't wait to see it, you definitely have a bit of an accent, Brad!

  • @WisemanTimes says eh all the time :) I'll have to watch out for when you say it now hehe.

  • @Urgo6667 different parts of the country - It'll be about as likely as uou saying "y'all"

  • @dapperdan29 hehe. I say it just because its expected. I'm not actually from the south. I'm from MA :)

  • I answered everything in the tag exactly the same as you except for pecan (I say it with a short e and soft a). However, I used to pronounce it the same way as you until stepmother said, "A pee-can is something you take on a long car ride."

  • I love this tag, awesome video :D

  • @thepotdoll thanks, yours was awesome too!

  • I Don't call it a shopping cart .. shopping trolley :) And Parking lot .. i call car park :D

  • @dapperdan29 Just posted mine hehe :D mines completely different than yours :D

  • just posted mine too!!!

  • "Spiderman" - gahhh, kids - so. friggin. cute. :D

  • @iloveiberia totally thought he would know the answer to that one - he does, he's just goofin' around!

  • "Spiderman" how damn cute was that?! :D

    Thanks for doing this. As I've said on other people's versions, I love these types of things. We also say "cutlery" and "brown toast" in the UK instead of the alternatives you mentioned.

    I think that is down to laziness :P Less syllables in our versions than the alternatives. Rolls off the tongue easier.

  • @MiddleOfMadness we must get those words from you, then since we are still a member of the commonwealth and have the queen on our money. We have closer ties to you linguistically than the States.
